Worm
Similar to viruses, worms are self-replicating computer programs. However, unlike viruses, they do not attach themselves to other, legitimate computer programs or documents in order to function; they are self-contained and do not require any other programs to propagate. Worms are often designed to exploit the file transmission capabilities of their host computers.
Like viruses, worms can be delivered via email attachments, especially those attached to spam, but also from trusted email addresses.
The problem of worm attacks via email can be combated by using worm scanning settings, as well as by avoiding opening attachments which are not expected, even from trusted email addresses.
